Andrew is a former menswear buyer turned artisan. He is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology and has formal refinishing and restoration training. Andrew’s passion for craftsmanship has been handed down over generations, having watched his grandfather build furniture throughout his life and his parents remodel his childhood home. His eye for detail and perfection is seen in his work. Inspired by tradition, continued education of period architecture and design keep him well informed when approaching each project.
He can’t help but see himself in his work. When he restores a piece, he’s bringing it back to the original form its creator intended it to be; free from blemishes, gouges, or broken pieces. Restoration is a slow process, filling in gaps, smoothing rough surfaces, and removing layers of stain, but each step is a progression towards its original beauty. What was damaged is being made new again.
